English laborer was really as well or
better off tban the American, lie
was reminded that meats and bread-
stuffs were necessarily made dearer
there than here, as much of the sup
ply came from this country. He
answered by declaring that granula
ted sugar was only 1 cents a pound
in Liverpool, and he could produce
the documents. He was reminded
that this was impossible, but still in
sisted. An English looking work
man sitting by had listened in sil
ence to the discussion up to this
time. Turning to the free trader he;
said: "Excuse me, but it is only
three weeks since I left Liverpool,
and I don't know anything about
your free trade, but I do know this,
that the cheapest sugar ever sold in
England was 4 cents per pound,
and I know further that the average
English laborer considers himself
fortnnate if he can get four ounces
of bacon a day at a cost of five cents."
The free trader subsided.

That there is a" determined effort
upon the part of independents to
misrepresent the position of John
M. Thurston toward the republican
state ticket is evidenced by the fol
lowing St. Louis dispatch to the As
sociated Press, that huge octopus
which the calamity howler is fond of
asserting is subsidized in the interest
of the republican party: "Chairman
Taubeneck, of the people's party ex
ecutive committee received a letter
from Hon.TPaul Vandervoort, of Ne
braska, ex-grand commander of the
Gr. A. R., stating that John M.
Thurston had taken the stump in
the interest of the people's party and
is now making a tour of the state in
behalf of Gen. VanWyck, the peo
ple's candidate for governor." That
Thurston may have made some inju
dicious anti-convention remarks is
possible, as he claims this is a repub
lican's privilege, though they are oft
compelled to eat "kro" by so doing,
yet the writer has in his possession
a personal letter from him, not for
publication, in which he unhesitat
ingly says that lie is "for the republi
can ticket and the republican plat
form, whether its nominees are sat
istactory to me personally or not,"
and that "after the convention has
spoken, I take it that republicans
should stand by the ticket." That
Geo. T. Snelling overheard remarks
by Mr. Thurston to his political as-
sociates. nnor to the convention is
true, but he says he did not believe
them himself, as they were utfered
in the heat of passion.
Another Straw Han.
The latest scheme of the slick
politicians who make their living
by trickery is to get up a betting
club on the result ot the coming
election. They offer, for instance,
to wager 100 that the independ
ents will not carry Nebraska, or
some other which they think will
be taken up. and as there are not
many of our enthusiasts who possess
that much ready cash, the politician
suggests that the independents get
up a club of twenty who will put in
o.00 each and also reminds them
in some way that should the inde
pendents win, if thev so desired,
they could use. the 100 won for
campaign purposes. The fact is -as
soon as the ciuu. is made up tue
politician secures all of their names,
sends them to headquarters, where
he gets the money to bet on, and
then when electron day conies these
twenty men's votes are challenged,
and according to law anyone betting
on the election cannot vote. We
have good reason to believe that the
old parties are practicing this' game
extensively in Nebraska and Kan
sas. We hope our people will not
bite' at such alluring games but that
thev will be practical and win the
election in spite of the shrewdness
of the old partv politicians. Omaha

Winter Wheat.
(From the Curtis Courier.)
We have become convinced by
close observation during the last
few years, and. particularly this year,
that with the right variety of seed
and proper planting there is no
better winter wheat country lays
out of doors than Nebraska. The
southern part has raised it for a
number of years, and this 3'ear we
have known good fields of it, large
in extent, two Hundred acres hm up
raised as far north as Bos Butte and
Cherry counties.
Among the great variety ot win
ter wheats offered by seedmen, spe
cialists, etc,, is the Turkey Red. This
being classed among the hard
wheats it is the most desirable vari
ety for both milling and shipping
purposes. We have obtained a se
lected stock of this variety, which
has become acclimated in this state.
The field this wheat was grown on
in 1892 did not have a weed in it,
and the party had men go over and
pull out eyery head of rye, so we
feel safe in saying ft js absolutely
pure stock we have to offer.
All winter wheat requires flrm
soil, not too iieavy: some or our
gumbo lands are rather too heavy
to obtain the best results. We do
not think it would be adyjsable to
sow ou sandy land, but light loam
might be put in proper condition
by plowing very deep, harrowing
and rolling if possible, if not by
using a plank with weights on, run
ning it over the ground to pack the
top of th,e soil.
If convenient it should be plowed
two months before time to seed, and
cultivated by heayy dragging as in
summer fallow. Tub best plan is
to drag the same day it is plowed,
that puts it in a fine condition. And
after the whole field is plowed to
barrow, using as heavy .uasrow as
passible: in this way a sort of
summer aJjLow is obtained, which
rots weeds and tvab and holds mois
ture. When it is convenient to
The best time for seeding, is from
the 15th of September to the 1st of
October on ground nicely prepared
it may be put in later, and on
ground not so well prepared it
should, be put in earlier. The idea
being to have 'the grain well estab
lished before winter sets in. It is
possible to sow many years any
time in October, and we have known
this wheat to be put in as late as
December and a satisfactory crop
be raised. But on the average,
fetter results are obtained by seed
ing in September. When it can be
obtained a press drill is very much
the best - to. :use, sowing "from a
bushel to a bushel and one-fourth
to the acre. The earlier it can be
sown the less seed needed, and the
later the greater amount required.
Rich land requires less seed than
poor land. We would advise, where
it is possible, to drill east and west,
crosswise to the prevailing winds.
Another way by which good results
are sometimes obtained is using a
one horse drill in standing corn.
This does remarkably well in sec
tions of the state which are liable
to high winds, ' but should not be
done unless the corn ground is clean
This wheat stools out remarkably
well, is nearly as hardy as rve and
yields enormously. Wq know o
one field last year which produced
on an average forty-four bushels to
the acre (usual crop in our state be
ingfrom twenty-five to forty bushels
to the acre). This same field w
refer to from appearances at the
present writing (not yet threshed)
will go at least fifty bushels to the
acre.
Mr. Thompson, of the state grain
inspection bureau, advise the grow
ing of Turkey Red wheat in very
large lots or neighborhoods. As he
thinks a better average can be ob
tained unmixed with other sorts,
and in large enough quantities to
load a vessel, that an excellent mar
ket can be found for this in Europe
on account of its hne flouring pro
perties and hard nature; it would be
a verv desirable variety for that
country and would stand the sea
voyage remarkable well.
we nave gctten.this wneat now
so the price is within the reach of
evervone. We would urge every
one to call farmers' attention to this
matter, as winter wheat is very
raucli. more desirable 111 every re
